Germany blames Russia for drone attack

1. September 2026, 18:15

In August, a drone was found at the airport in Leipzig. The drone had a bomb inside. The drone wanted to hit a plane from Ukraine. The plan did not work.

Now the government has new news. Alexander Dobrindt says: Russia did the attack. A secret group from Russia did this. Other countries in Europe see such attacks too.

Germany takes hard steps now. The office of Russia in Bonn must close. The contract for the Russian house in Berlin ends too.

People from Russia get stricter rules for travel. The Russian man is called to the ministry. Friedrich Merz says: The bad actors pay for their deeds. The EU helps Germany with these steps.
